Sheet, board or panel
Sheet, board or panel, in particular an OSRB ( 1 )—Oriented Structural Reed Board—comprising a layer of material ( 2 ) made up of pressed reeds having a multiplicity of stems which are split predominantly longitudinally, so that it is also the case that the insides of the stems, at least in part, are accessible to a binder, wherein the binder is able to hold together the reeds for forming a solid sheet, board or panel. It is thus possible to provide a biocomposite sheet, board or panel based on sustainable raw materials which has improved properties and strength and requires only a particularly low level of production outlay. A further aspect of the invention relates to a method for producing an OSRB ( 1 ).
1. Sheet, board or panel comprising:
a layer of material ( 2 ) of compressed reed having a multiplicity of strands, which a majority of the multiplicity of strands are split longitudinally, so that at least a part of the inside of the strands is accessible to a binder, and
a binder, wherein the binder allows to binding the reed for forming a solid sheet, board or panel, wherein the strands of the reed are afloat spears.
2. Sheet, board or panel of claim 1 , wherein the layer of material ( 2 ) also comprises strands of straw.
3. Sheet, board or panel of claim 1 , wherein 100% of the strands provided for the layer of material ( 2 ) are of reed.
4. Sheet, board or panel of claim 1 , wherein when providing the strands based on different raw materials, blending ( 10 ) of the strands is provided prior to compressing ( 18 ).
5. Sheet, board or panel of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the strands of the layer of material ( 2 ) are oriented in a predetermined direction and/or substantially in parallel.
6. Sheet, board or panel of claim 1 , wherein a portion of at least 10% of the strands have a length of at least 6 mm and at most 15 mm.
7. Sheet, board or panel of claim 1 , wherein the layer of material ( 2 ) of compressed reed forms an outer layer ( 2 ), which adjoins to a core layer ( 3 ).
8. Method for producing a sheet, a board or a panel comprising a layer of material of compressed reed having a multiplicity of strands, which a majority of the multiplicity of strands are split longitudinally, so that at least a part of the inside of the strands is accessible to a binder, wherein the binder allows to binding the reed for forming a solid sheet, board or panel,
wherein the majority of the multiplicity of strands that are mostly split longitudinally are covered with a binder and are compressed, wherein the strands of the reed are afloat spears.
9. Method of claim 8 , wherein strands of different raw materials, including straws and reed, are blended ( 10 ).
10. Method of claim 8 , wherein prior to scattering ( 17 ) the strands onto a conveyor belt for forming a mat, the strands are blended ( 10 ) prior to shortening ( 12 ) the strands or cutting ( 11 ) the raw materials to a smaller length.
